Destiny coming first to PlayStation on September 9

CEO Andrew House tells E3 crowd that "first-look alpha" available this week.

Destiny will be coming first to PlayStation, launching on September 9, 2014.

"PlayStation is above all else the best place to play, and we know what best means. It means connected. It means the highest visual quality. It means choice, and it means not being a lone gamer, but a member of an extensive community,” Andrew House, the CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment, Inc., told the assembled crowd at E3 in Los Angeles on Monday evening. "Destiny will help define this next generation of game."

We're told we'll love the "shared world shooter"... once we get to see it.

He added that starting this Thursday until the weekend, there will be a “first-look alpha,” before the beta version drops next month.

“Destiny isn't just first on PlayStation, it's better,” House added. “In addition to all the extra content that only PlayStation customers will receive, we'll also have a white PS4 that comes on September 9.”

House didn’t, though, announce at what price Sony would make that bundle available.
